It wouldn't be difficult for the viewer to support something like this. Infact, rather than translating the font to something, a better way may be to literally add <sub><sup> equivilant calls to the pdb database format. Leave it to the viewer to translate. It shouldn't be difficult because all you're doing is including a vertical offset of the text. Easy to handle, I think. > A simple fix would be for the distiller to enclose them in brackets > and braces. I think for something like this it should be done right. I'd volunteer to handle the viewer code, if someone can modify the parser. I don't speak python :) -- Adam McDaniel Array.org Calgary, AB, Canada
